Over the last decade, the ranks of American gun owners have swelled dramatically. It would be nice to think all these new shooters have received professional instruction, but that's not very realistic. Many would have had no clue where to begin, and no one to ask. Others would have turned to the Internet – and promptly gotten overwhelmed by hundreds of pages of raging opinion, stunning them into permanent procrastination.

You probably heard this in your concealed carry class, but here are the key factors that need to be present to justify using lethal force:

It's happened. You've had to defend yourself from a violent attack. You could not avoid it. You've either presented your firearm or actually fired it to stop the unavoidable threat to your life or the lives of others. There's no turning back. What is your next step, once you and all other innocents are clearly safe from the threat?
